CONTRIBUTIONS TO A TEUMBULL GENEALOGY.
There is probably no family among om* early colonial and revo-
lutionary stock which has contributed so many distinguished men to
their country's service in so many widely varied walks of life as the
Trumbulls — preeminent among statesmen, warriors, divines, poets,
painters and historians, the fame of the family must still rest, as its
most enduring monument, on the patriot Governor of Connecticut
whose nickname of "Brother Jonathan," affectionately given him
by Washington, will ever stand as the prototype of American man-
hood and patriotism.
That so little has ever been done to substantiate the ancestry of
so notable a family seems a grave omission on the part of our his-
torians, and I esteem it a privilege to be able to throw some light on
the obscurity which has thus far enveloped its origin.
As is well known to all who have taken an interest in the sub-
ject, there were two John Trumbulls (or Trumble, as the name was
then generally written) in the Massachusetts Colony at an early day,
and there has been no little confusion regarding them among gene-
alogists. As a matter of fact, however, there was no connection
whatever between them, and nothing has ever been discovered that
would indicate that they were even kno^^^l to one another. They
were :
I. — John Trumble, Cooper, of Roxbury in 1639, and among the first mem-
bers of Mr. Eliot's Church there, and the following year (13
May 1640) made freeman of Rowley. He brought to this country
a wife Ellen and son John.*
11. — John Trumble, Mariner, of Cambridge in 1636, was also made a
freeman in 1640, and removed to Charlestown in 1655. He had
wife Elizabeth ; perhaps married here-t
There has always been a family tradition attributing the origin of
one or both of them to Newcastle on Tyne in England, and this at
length found confirmation in a power of attorney of Susan Blackiston
of Newcastle on Tyne, widow, dated 27 August 1653, to Joanna Scill
of New England, to recover for her, inter alia, a debt dating from
1637, of John Trumble, cooper, late of Newcastle on T\Tie, and

now of New England.* This gave us the evidence that it was the
cooper and not the mariner who was from Newcastle, while the will
of William Kinge of Ipswich, Co. Suffolk, ship carpenter, f to which
Mr. H. F. Waters kindly called my attention, must beyond doubt
refer to the second John, the mariner, as we now know the wife of
the former to have been a Chandler.
It has been my great good fortune to locate one of these with
absolute certainty, and the other beyond a reasonable doubt, although
some further evidence is needed as to the last.
Being recently in the North of England I made a careful examina-
tion of the Consistory Court of Durham, the results of which are
printed herewith, but they are most disappointing, as the Trumbull
wills were few and these few yielded but little information. This
task completed I had but one day to spare, having to keep an ap-
pointment at the Probate Court at Lichfield, and I resolved to devote
it to a Parish Register search of Newcastle. This important and
populous city contains no less than four Parish Churches, and it was
manifestly impossible to see them all in a day. Reasoning from
analogy that if our man was a cooper he would probably have re-
sided near the wharves and shipping, I selected the church nearest
the river (All Saints) to begin with, and my delight may be im-
agined when I found, in rapid succession, the marriage of John
Trumble and Ellinor Chandler in 1635, the baptism of his daughter
Beriah in 1637, and his son John in 1639. The burial of Beriah,
four months after her baptism, leaving the family as we first find it
in America, makes the identification complete, and fixes the date of
the emigration within a few months.
The remainder of the day was spent in exhausting the Register, as
far as time permitted, of all entries of the name, but in spite of the
large number of these found, the result, as far as this particular
family is concerned, is somewhat meagre. The records only com-
mence in 1600, and the only baptism which could, chronologically,
have been that of our man, is John the son of James in 1612, and I
have serious doubts as to their identity for this reason — John Trum-
ble of Rowley was evidently a man of more than ordinary education
and intelligence, he wrote a clerkly hand (no common accomplish-
ment in those days ) , was Town Clerk of Rowley until his death in
1656, and taught the first school there :% but James, the father of
the John baptized in 1612, is recorded as a "Kielman," that is, he
occupied the humble position of a laborer on one of the keelboats or
lighters used in loading vessels or conveying freight about the
wharves, and it does not seem likely that a man in his position could
have given his son the education which we know the emigrant to
have possessed.

The other three ancient parishes of Newcastle may, however, give
us the parentage of John Trumble which All Saints denies us.
They are St. Andrew^s (Reg. 1597), St. John's (1587) and St.
Nicholas (1558), the latter being the mother church. Gateshead
in Durham, ou the opposite bank of the Tyne and integrally a part
of Newcastle, the Register of which dates from 1559, should also be
examined. The parentage of EUinor Chandler, which was not found
at All Saints, should also be sought in all of these.
It may be, however, that we must look further afield and across the
Scottish border. It has always been believed that the Trumbulls
of England were descended from the broken remnants of the once
powerful border clan of TurnbuU, whose romantic origin is so well
known,* and which, harried in turn by Scotch and English forays,
was finally broken up and scattered. In 1545 the English burned
no less than twelve castles and two towns of the clan in the Valley
of the Rule,f and although the Barony of Mynto remained vested in a
chief of the name until the middle of the 17th century, J the power
of the clan was broken, and it w^as thenceforward but a shadow of
its former self.
* "Between red ezlarbanks, that frightful scowl,
Fringed with grey hazel, roars the mining Roull ;
Where TurnbuUs once, a race no power could awe,
Lined the rough skirts of stormy Rubieslaw.
Bold was the chief from whom their line they drew,
Whose nervous arm the furious bison slew,
The bison, fiercest race of Scotia's breed.
Whose bounding course outstripped the red deer's speed,
By hunters chafed, encircled on the plain.
He frowning shook his yellow lion maine.
Spurned with black hoof in bursting rage the ground,
And fiercely toss'd his moony horns around.
On Scotia's lord he rush'd with lightning speed,
Bent his strong neck to toss the startled steed ;
His arms robust the hardy hunter flung
Around his bending horns, and upward wrung, —
With writhing force his neck retorted round,
And roU'd the panting monster on the ground,
Crush'd with enormous strength his bony skull ;
And courtiers hailed the man who turned the bull."
Leydens' Scenes of Infancy, p. 102.
The adventure took place in the forest of Callender, near Stirling, and its date is ap-
proximately fixed by a grant from King Robert Bruce in 13lr5 of lands in Fulhophalch {i.e.
Philiphaugh, a short distance west of the Rule), to Willielmo dicto Turnebull, for "a reddendo
of one broad arrow at the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary." (Reg. Mag. Sig.,
p. 6). He was slain at the battle of Halidon Hill in 1333 in a single combat with Sir Robert
Benhale, a Norfolk knight. (Hutchinson's Northumb., ii., 70; Ridpath's Border Hist.,
213.)
Walter Turnbull, probably son of the above, was early in the possession of Mynto, so
long held by the family, and which was confirmed to him, or a descendant of the same
name, by King David III. in 1370. (Robertson's Index, p. 33, No. 48), Before the middle
of the 15th century they had obtained the Barony of Bedrule (Stoddard's Scottish Arms,
ii., 49), having by this time become a powerful border clan and rivalling the Moss Troopers
of Liddesdale in audacity and daring. In 1510 their excesses had become so great that the
King of Scotland marched with an army to the waters of Rule and executed summary
justice on the clan. ( Jefferey's Hist. Roxborough, 330.) This blow and a deadly vendetta
with the Kers, aided the border warfare in weakening and finally breaking up the clan.
The last who clamed the chieftainship, after the failure of the direct line of Mynto and Bed-
rule, was a John Turnbull of Know, about 1672-78. (Stoddard, ii., 50.)
t Jefferey's Hist. Roxborough, 331. X Ibid.—'KQiQxxY, ii.. No. 243.
The alien tax in the Lay Subsidies at the Pubhc Record Office in
Fetter Lane, the results of a brief examination of which are printed
herewith, seems to clearly indicate the Scotch origin of the Trum-
bulls, and so to point out to the Clan TurnbuU of Bedrule as the
progenitors of the race.
We will now turn to John Trumble the mariner. Being engaged
one day in a search of the Baptismal Registers of St. Dunstan's,
Stepney, London, my attention was attracted by the occurrence of
a family of the name, and I believe that John the son of Robert
Trumble, mariner, of Wapping, who was baptized 25 Sept. 1608,
will prove to be the John Trumble of Charlestown, who in 1665
was 48* and in 1686 was 80, f according to his own depositions.
These last dates are utterly irreconcilable, and we can only conjec-
ture that the first of them should be 1655, or that his age should
have been 58 instead of 48, to make them harmonize with each other.
Admitting this error, they are, taken in connection mth the mari-
time profession of the father, most suggestively near to the date of
baptism as given : while the statement of Savage, that he was in
his 80th year at his death in July 1687, exactly tallies with the
baptism.!
Robert, the father, unfortunately died intestate in 1614, § but the
will of the mother, Judith, may yet be found, or some further and
more exact reference from some of the King, Hichman or Sandwell
families. II The wills at Bury St. Edmunds should also be seen in
this connction, while a further examination of the Stepney Regis-
ters for Marriages and Burials might, and most probably would,
demonstrate or disprove the theory I have promulgated.
There was a family of TrumbuUs of London, fishmongers and
shipowners if not mariners, in the 16th century, whose wills in the
Pre. Court make a very good pedigree of four generations,** and
whom I have suspected to be the prepositors of Robert of Stepney,
but no confirmatory evidence has yet been found, and I believe that
their place of origin will be finally located in Suffolk or Essex, pro-
bably derived, like the Newcastle family, from the Clan TurnbuU.
In the meanwhile I submit the results of my stray gleanings during
the last half dozen years in the English fields in the hope that other
than the two grains of wheat which I have pointed out may be
found among the chaff, and may prove of service to some co-worker
in the cause.

Courte. CompP is in decayed estate and greatlye indebted : so
as if Defendts shoulde dely ver vnto her said fifty pounds it should
be vtterly wasted. It was not for all her children : twenty
pounds were also bequeathed to Mary Trumbull her daughter.

shall awarde. Trumbull was much indebted to this Def* and
made default of payment. John Edmonds left the money to
Richard Edmonds and not at all to the said children.!
